I feel the surgery was pointless

"I feel the surgery was pointless"

About: Wolverhampton and Midland Eye Infirmary / Ophthalmology

(as a service user),

After months of appointments and 3 lots of laser surgery,I had cataract surgery and other procedures performed.

Was practically thrown out the hospital 2 hours after a general anaesthetic as the ward was a day ward.

3 months later,my vision is worse,I feel awful and I'm still on high dose medication.I feel the surgery was pointless.

Thank you very much for your reply.

I am concerned that as you are still experiencing problems with your vision after 3 months, I would like to offer you the opportunity to see if any further assistance can be given by way of a review appointment.

Once again, please contact the Patient Advice and Liaison Service if you would like to discuss this further.

Kindest Regards
